Bull Tokyo Dent Coll. 2002 Aug;43(3):187-91. doi: 10.2209/tdcpublication.43.187.

Abstract

A 64-year-old Japanese male had a squamous cell carcinoma (T4N1M0) in the left gingival and buccal mucosa, so a radical wide resection involving left radical neck dissection was performed. An anterolateral thigh flap measuring 15 x 8 cm was raised from the left thigh and transferred to the defect. The postoperative course was eventful. There was no postoperative flap necrosis, infection, not even a cervical fistula.
